Greatest accomplishment from lifting and/or fitness in general? In 2009 I earned my B.S. degree in Kinesiology and last year, I started my own personal training business to share my passion for fitness with others! Also, I finally did my first bikini competition this year at the Lauren Powers Classic. With no previous experience, I was excited to come in third place. I loved the experience so much that I have signed up for my first NPC qualifier competition, the Orange County Classic in August. Aside from competition and personal training, I am an avid marathon runner and recently qualified for New York, which I will be running in November. I consider the mental strength, ongoing drive, and determination I have acquired from these experiences as my greatest accomplishment! I think it also serves as a source of inspiration for others to follow their passion and live a healthier lifestyle!
Favorite exercise to do in the gym? Battle ropes, abs, lunges
Ever have guys challenge you in arm wrestling or wrestling? If so what happened? Not so much, but a few guys have challenged me to run with them before. A few years ago, a young man at the gym challenged me to a 3 mile run (1.5 miles up and back) I maintained a 7 minute mile pace and he tried his hardest to keep up! On my way back with only one mile left, I found him on the side of the road still at mile 1, throwing up from the exertion! Needless to say, that was the last time he challenged me to a run.
Anything you would like to add or tell your fans? Don’t give up!! Stay focused on your goals and dreams and never let any obstacle/source of discouragement get in your way. Hard work, self discipline, and perseverance do pay off!! Always stay positive, love your body, and strive to be a better, stronger person than you were the day before.
